Land Rovers manufactured from early 2016 have to have an emissions system which injects a fluid into the exhaust, to reduce NOx output.
This consists of an 18 litre resevoir of fluid, containing an ammonia based liquid called "Adblue".
It is injected into the exhaust.
Get this....you cannot refill this yourself it has to go into a LR dealer. Although you can do an emergency top up of 2 litres.
Software prevents further topping up without plugging the vehicle in to the computer.
How much fluid is used depends on how the vehicle is driven, but can use the full tank in a couple of months.
There is a dashboard warning of low fluid level and at 500 miles remaining a countdown shows.
If you run out, the engine will keep running but after you stop it will not restart.
"EU regulations" apparantly.
LR dealers refill for free if you have the service package, you just pay for the fluid at around £2.50 a litre.
Best not drive your Discovery Sport to Africa then....
